Sorry I forgot one important Artesian bottle and that is the Artesian crown top circa 1897. And the Return to Artesia bottle, Waco, Texas.

Hey wait a minute these are usually clear. It appears that the company produced a transition bottle in 1951 which continued the old design with the new green color. You don't find these everyday, this one is from Bluefield, VA.

I have a green 6½ Good for Life Dr Pepper from Tullahoma, TN, so there's at least 2 places that made them.

There are also 2 varieties of colorless 6½ Good for Life bottles, one with the words Good For Life about 1/2 inch high and the other with the words about 1/4 inch high.

My bottle does not have a town/state on it, just the no. 51 and that's all. The no 51 indicates that is the year this green 6-1/2 oz bottle was made and the only year it was made. After that DP went to the 6 oz green bottle it still has the clock dial on the back, but the hands do not point to 10, 2, and 4.
They point to 10, 2, and 6 for some reason.

Mine has no date on it.

Yikes! 10, 2, and 6?????

Considering the positions on an analog clock, is your 6 in the 4-position or the 6-position?

OK, that auto-censoring is simply hilarious! []

It makes the bad-word ring in your mind and ends up having the opposite effect of what's wanted.

On the clear 6-1/2 oz and the green 6-1/2 oz 1951 bottles on the clock dial the numbers are 10,2 and 4, but on the 6 oz green bottles the numbers are at 10, 2, and 6. The no 6 is like on a regular clock. They changed for some reason.
